Grammar schools in Cannock
There are no grammar schools in Cannock.
Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Only 47 of the 226 local authorities in the UK still have any, and Staffordshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Cannock admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Queen Mary's High School, about 7.6 miles away in Walsall. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
